We ordered through the QR code on the table at the gate and the foods were delivered to us pretty quickly. The shrimp Cajun salad was actually really good, I really liked the mix and proportion of the vegetable options in this salad. In comparison, the chicken salad seemed so plain with just iceberg lettuce and a few specs of black bean and corn. The flavor of the guac and the chicken seasoning were fine though. Airport price, but decent and fresh. read more

While I was waiting at Gate 61 for my friend who was at Starbucks I decided to scan the QR code at the table we had sat at to wait for our plane. I was sad to leave Toronto and decided to splurge and get a Spicy Bloody Maria and a bagel with cream cheese. The people who brought my order were very nice and friendly. The food and drink was delicious. I highly recommend this service! read more

If I could give this a 0 star rating I could. I just hate airport food to begin with. It is always expensive and you are in a hurry most of the time. I stopped at Apropos as it was in a quiet area of the airport. The food is coming from a central kitchen, as the place you order is just a bar. I just wanted something light so I got an iced tea and a steak salad. First, Canada what is your deal with iced tea? If you are American never order iced tea. The description was something about classic brewed iced team. Nope, it was sickly sweet and probably from a can. That was my mistake as I knew Canada doesn't have real iced team. I could overlook that as my mistake, but the steak salad was atrocious. The steak was beyond over cooked to the point of being shoe leather. I couldn't eat any of it. I should have sent it back, but just had to catch my flight and leave. Absolutely disgusting and the worst airport food I've ever had. This is probably the worst dining experience I've had in the 30+ different airports that I've been in. If you are in Toronto, go somewhere else. read more

We were hungry and looking for a spot in the airport. We were at the Toronto Pearson airport ready to fly home in a couple of hours. Apropos just so happened to be in our terminal so it was perfect! The Mad Tom IPA was delicious & I ordered nachos. The nachos were okay, nothing special but they did have quite an extensive food menu. Apropos is located in Gate F. We were gate 64, but I think it may stretch across 2 gates. The servers were kind & they were serving from the actual bar and throughout the terminal. The tables and seating were chic - a faux marble tablescape & what looked like leather seating. This is the first time I've been to the airport and there was a bar within a gate. It was convenient & made waiting for our flight more bearable. read more

This was a quick meal at the airport - I had a pineapple juice and the roasted mushroom and arugula pasta. The pasta came quick, it was hot and flavourful. I remember having a spaghetti a few years ago and it was also delicious. Always easy to get a table, quick service and right by my terminal. read more

The food was okay, but be aware. They throw a tip onto the total just before handing you the pad to sign. Very sneeky.

This is perhaps one of the worst airport food experiences I have ever had. One thing, the meat portion was smaller than expected. Normally, I do not complain about this sort of thing, however, after I received my meal, I noticed other people were receiving smoked meat sandwiches with almost 5 times the amount of meat versus what I received. In addition, my sandwich had zero condiments and it was supposed to have a dressing. I had to go to the kitchen and ask about the missing condiments and they said that they were all out. This would've been nice to know upon receiving the meal rather than me having to get up and ask about it. So they left it dry with no option of a second sauce until I had to ask in person. This is ridiculous. I've never been more disappointed in any meal at an airport in my entire life. On top of that, I was still hungry. read more

Terrible, even by airport standards, maybe even hospitals. How do you screw up a grilled cheese sandwich? Let's count the ways. Put almost no cheese on it. I think it was toasted, not grilled. Somewhere between dried out and stale. Then add wierd rubbery bacon. Bacon is a food group in Canada. Messing up bacon is a sin here. Service is app based. Servers stand behind the counter talking to each other and ignore the few patrons trying to get their attention. There is a reason why they collect the tip before you get your - I have a hard time calling it "meal" - I guess it is food in a sense. Stay away. read more

I flew out to Las Vegas on Canada Day back in 2015, in the evening. I had plenty of time to grab a bite to each before boarding my flight and decided to dine at Apropos. I recall the first time I had ever seen ordering food on iPads. It wasn't at Pearson International Airport. It was actually at Charlotte International Airport. Several months later, Pearson had caught on. Apropos is in Terminal 1. I plopped myself down at a seat and ordered through the iPad. I got fish tacos and hummus with pita. I also ordered a Diet Coke to wash everything down. The fish tacos have soft shells. You get three of them. They were delicious. The spicy avocado worked well with the lime cream and pico de gallo. I also loved the hummus. The grilled pita wedges were both tender and crispy. Perfect! Naturally, when dining at the airport, you pay a lot more. I remember the price, which was pushing $30 for two small plates of food and a beverage, including tax and tip. I didn't mind it, though. The quality and taste were good. I also don't dine at the airport too often and I was hungry. My beef was trying to pay for my meal. You are supposed to be able to do it on the iPad. It didn't work on mine. Instead, I had to flag my server to try and sort it out. You'd think that he would have a debit-credit machine. Nope, I had to move to a different iPad that he had selected that wasn't close. Yes, I had to haul all my belongings (rolling computer bag, my sweater, and me) several feet away. It was an inconvenience to me. I can also see this problem being a huge one if you are a larger party. How can you make sure that your personal belongings are safe when you are practically going to a different gate to pay for your meal? I am hoping that this issue has been fixed. I have a feeling that it's still the case, though. (208) read more

$20 for the Cesar isn't the problem. It's at an airport and it to be expected. The pain in the ass ordering (picked and tried ordering from 2 different iPads but both didn't work) and the extremely unfriendly "service" is my issue. 10m to get a water? Also, the bag that's completely unattended chilled in the restaurant is freaking me out but no one seems to care. read more

People passing through YYZ are harder on Apropos than I would have expected! I love the iPad ordering of caesars, fizzy waters and weird little snacks before flights. There's tons of seating, and the staff are all smiles. It's true, you definitely have to be tech savvy to navigate their system with ease, but if you're not, calm down. There's a very obvious Request Server button front and centre. "Travel safe!" -Everyone's Mom. read more

I checked in extremely early for my flight and decided to get an early lunch. Anita greeted ne and assisted in helping me get seated comfortably as I had many things with me. She was extremely welcoming and engaged in my conversation. Im a very picky person and I was very indecisive about what I should order. Anita was extremely patient and answered all my questions while i chose what to order. I finally settled on the shrimp sliders, per her recommendation which were delicious. I also love the fact that i can charge my phone while dining here. Everything from the food, ambience, and the service from Anita. Definitely will grab something to eat the next time i am at this airport. read more

5:08 am on September 25, 2024. Whoever was the woman with black, wavy hair serving at this restaurant (F61), unbelievable service. As I was sitting across from the little bar/island, this man came up to them, sat down and even I could tell he wants to order but is confused. Yes, it is scan to order, but guess what, not a lot is familiar with that process. But this "server" was very demeaning, as she tried to "help him. There might've been a language barrier but damn, this "server" doesn't not have a very good customer service. She kept repeating "it's scan to order" and has no care to actually help him. A few were already looking because her attitude was bizarre lol. No matter what angle you look at it, he is a customer. And a cherry on top, she literally said to him before he left "if you don't like what we have, you can go somewhere else". The poor old man didn't do anything bad and just wants to eat, yet she treated him so poorly. That's what I witnessed, whatever her side is she SHOULD NOT have acted like that. I hope this reaches your team. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: A place to rest your tired traveling feet and recharge your electronics. Stopped in to sit down and recharge our iPhones. Ordered a diet coke using the iPad and paid on the spot by credit card which presumptuously asks for a tip. Okay I will add a tip. You would think the service would be snappy in an airport setting but it is not. The service is slow. I would not order something to eat here. We are sitting on the bar and I'm looking at the baked goods in the case. They look lifeless and dead. Unappetizing. Just waiting for my full charge in my iPhone. Mahalo & aloha! read more

Dirty, and i mean really dirty, the seats were mostly torn up, food residue everywhere, no staff to clean or help, cannot customize an order as they have a really stupid ordering concept and why pay a tip when there is absolutely no customer service. Food was lukewarm and could be bought at the local supermarket. Did i mention the iPads were so dirty i had to clean them before using them!!!!!! Get rid of this crappy concept places! read more

Apropos is a decent modern American restaurant in terminal 1 at YYZ. The menu includes burgers and sandwiches, pastas, salads, and the like. My seared tuna salad was a bit overpriced (typical airport prices), but it was tasty. All the ordering is done on iPads, and I appreciated being able to see images of the items before ordering. Overall, it certainly wasn't an experience to write home about. But an alright meal while I was waiting. Check it out if you need to kill time in YYZ. read more

Interesting concept. This restaurant bar has basically taken over the sitting area for 4 gates in one terminal wing, on both sides of the walkway through the area. There is a bar on each side, and around that low tables and chairs, as well as high bar seating. Each seat has its own ipad that can be used to surf the web, order food/drinks, or check your flight status/weather. You don't HAVE to order something to sit at the tables and use the devices. That part confused me. The ipads were easy to use to figure out what they had to offer menu-wise, and they even have a thing you can set up so you can watch your flight status as you peruse the menu. Drinks/food were regular airport prices. I had a caesar salad and it was good, but not giant for $10. If you happen to be flying out of one of the gates that Apropos straddles, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Apropos is an interesting concept - they've taken over all of the gate seating and turned it into a restaurant where you can order food & drink via IPad. The IPads can also be used to surf the web, check email, etc. All of the tables have charging stations, which is really nice. It's not very clear that the seating is truly open - you don't "have" to order anything to sit there, use the charging stations and enjoy a more comfortable seat. That part is definitely nice. On the minus side, the space fills quickly and adding in tables means less overall seating. If several flights are departing in quick succession from nearby gates you aren't likely to find a seat at all. Again, it's an interesting concept. I like it when I'm able to grab a seat and get some work done and I hate it when it's overcrowded and there isn't enough space for all of those people and bags. read more

Super early flight with hunger brought me here. You could order food from their iPad. Their seatings are not restricted to paying customers only which is very nice. I had the built your own omelette and macchiato. The coffee was very nice and smooth. The omelette, unfortunately was a bit tasteless...but probably good for your health when less salt used lol. This is almost 1/2 self serving and there's really zero interactions with the waitstaff, which really made me question if I should have given a tip at all if all they do is bring you food and take away dishes... read more

I'm currently sitting in the Toronto airport on an 8 hr layover , so naturally I had to get something to eat. I scoured the yelp reviews of the airport restaurants and most of them had pretty low star ratings, this restaurant included, so I didn't have high hopes, but a girl's gotta eat. First of all, I love the iPads that are at every table for ordering (with convenient plus for charging all your gear). The food is pricey, but most airport food is. I ordered the french dip sandwich (I don't think that's the actual menu name but it's beef on a baguette with a dipping sauce) and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was! Not to mention, my food came about 5 minutes after I'd ordered it on the iPad, and it was nice and hot. I do realize that other reviewers had negative experiences here, though for me, my experience was good and I'd recommend it if you've got some time to spare in the airport. read more

Pros: - food was pretty good, considering it was airport food (maybe 3/5 stars compared to ordering from outside, 3.5-4/5 stars for airport food) - the service was extremely quick - by the time i had paid, before i could even put my wallet away, my water had arrived, and food came maybe a minute or two after that - You can see the order in full on a screen with price (breakdown in the order, taxes are shown and tip can be manually added here) Cons: - you use ipads to order your food (they're super buggy/slow) - food was super expensive (a breakfast croissant with water was almost $20 with tip); price not really justified by portion size (and vice versa) - Only takes debit or visa (no cash). - They use older debit machines also, which means you are unable to use 'paypass', and have to touch the keypad (which probably already has millions of germs on it anyway, and no disinfectant nearby). read more

I always feel guilty just sitting here and so I always order something. And then I feel a different sort of guilt... The why did I spend my money here kind of guilt. Yes, I know I don't have to order anything... Yet I always do, and then feel disappointed. Service here is really really really slow... For things that really shouldn't take very long. I suspect much of what's on the menu here is prepared ahead of time or isn't made from scratch...and so I don't know why there's any wait time for most things. Like chances are, a chai latte isn't made from scratch... Yet the wait time is like fifteen to twenty minute. Why?? As far as how things taste, it's comparable to what one might get from any lunch room cafeteria. Like my chai latte, super watered down, could barely notice a hint of chai at all. Actually, I could barely taste anything in it at all. Other food here is pretty bland as well. It's a little disappointing given the price. read more

I missed my flight this morning due to a delay in customs. This left me 2.5 hours before my new flight. I was greeted by Franco with such genuine energy I was immediately reminded to be present and here. I felt taken care of and in the end appreciated the extra time I now had to enjoy my breakfast. Watching and listening to him interact with all of the customers and his co workers was a pleasure. I am leaving for my trip present and mindful. read more

I ate here because I was waiting for my flight, and I ordered the chocolate chip French toast. I was surprised to see that it wouldn't let me pay with cash, and I was also very astonished to see payment of tip before service was even offered. It was a bit ridiculous, and I really didn't want to give any tip. In any case, I did because the wage system in the US is superbly broken, and I waited for my food. It didn't take long, and there were four half-slices of bread with mini chocolate chips on them, alongside a plastic container of syrup. Boo on the plastic container! The French toast itself was very mediocre, and one piece wasn't cooked thoroughly. The bread was clearly cheap bread, and the chocolate chips didn't really taste like chocolate chips. It was mediocre as a whole, but what would one expect from a restaurant at the airport. For $16 (CAD) post-tax pre-tip, this was not a cheap meal but again, it's at the airport so what can I expect. The ordering tablet was interesting though, and after ordering, food just gets delivered to the table. read more

With a large number of vendors in the area, the location near the gate was the deciding factor. Went for a pre flight snack so, I took a spot at the bar and ordered from the iPads. Typical airport prices, but what do you expect with Pearson overhead costs. I ordered the chocolate muffin and a coffee, and I was treated to the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time. Dark, rich strong.... so good!! Great service. Prompt removal of plates and free refills. Overall, I can not think of a better way of waiting for a flight. Check it out, but don't expect a small bill. read more

Whoa. I'm kind of surprised that Apropos has such a low rating. I get that it's expensive and the quality can be hit or miss, but honestly for an airport restaurant I'm pretty pleased with what they've got going on. (Disclaimer: I've only eaten breakfast here.) First of all, you sit wherever you want and each place has an iPad for ordering so you can literally order immediately. That's awesome if you are in kind of a hurry. Second, they have fresh squeezed juice for breakfast. Third, many of their seats have outlets. Also awesome. Fourth, the seating is pretty comfortable and the people that work there are nice enough. All in all it's not a bad place to wait for your flight. read more

The unfortunate thing about this place is it could be SO cool. But it has no follow through. While most of the staff are hanging out and chatting, you are expected to order food at the iPads at each place setting. It's like it's from the future!!! They have found a way to remove almost every human element from customer service. The iPads have a feature that you can enter your flight, so you don't miss it's boarding and departure. Great! But it resets itself every 3 minutes so that feature is useless. You can however stare at advertising during your meal. I had a $9 fruit bowl (cut up green apple and 4 cantaloupe chunks). Whoa! read more

Here I am, stuck at the airport for a few more hours and what to do, what to do...... You breeze around the corner and your eyes fall upon a slew of iPads, one for each seat. I would say 60 seats, maybe more. Most were empty so finding a place to plop down is simple. We didn't order anything, but you have access to a full bar and a decent size menu. (update soon to follow on thy food). Now most airports do have charging stations but they are usually swamped with people and I have yet to even get a chance to use them. This place has an over abundance of them and that is definitely a good thing. What inspired me to write about this place was the big comfy seats that are desperately lacking in any other landing strip that I've been to. I've found that taking naps on the floor to be the best option, but this place lures you in with big seats that, if you don't prepare, will leave you flying stand by after missing that flight you were waiting for. Next time I roll through this place, grab your rollie and shelp your your bum over to this place for a nice respite and recharge...signing off read more

Apropos - Excellent Capaccino. Mmm delicious! - American Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

McD's big breakfast for $21? I say Nay Nay! A couple of scrambled eggs, 1 1/2 slices of cremated bacon, two slices of toast an 4 cubes of melon-the rest of the money goes to pay for all the iPads at every table. McDonalds' Big Breakfast platter is better in every way except for the plate. The cup of tepid coffee alone was $3.50, and no better than McD's coffee (which is sometimes free). The server needed to drive a long blast of cappuccino steam into it to get it to an enjoyable temp. They give you ketchup in little packets. Stop at McDonalds on the way to the airport and order 3 Big Breakfasts for the same money. Or buy 2, and still have enough cash for a venti Sixbucks! Bon voyage! read more

This is the first time I am hanging out at Apropos at Pearson even though I passed by this place all the time during my flights out of Canada to the US. I was tired today and needed good well lit sitting area where I could get some work done with a cup of coffee. Apropos didn't disappoint. I like the hip high table/bar sitting area and the ordering from iPads at the tables. Plus the POS machines at each table means they get full marks on technology. Downside is they have no wifi (you have to use the airport wifi, which is painfully slow) and some of their iPad machines maybe down (I had to move seats to get to an iPad that works to take order). I got a brève Cortado and I must say they made it really well (surprisingly for an airport cafe) and a side of potato crisps. The Cortado came out on time promptly, but for some reason the same server didn't get me the crisps. When asked she said it will come out shortly and then nothing for another 10 mins. I had to wait to track down a server who came to serve the next table to mine and asked if I have to go to the bar to grab it myself. She apologized and promptly brought out the crisps. I didn't try any other food but they looked expensive. read more

This is a cashless Internet lounge that serves alcohol. On the bright side it is open and airy. On the bad side you have to order your drinks on the iPad in front of you and pay on the credit card machine in front of you. Very impersonal and a great way to spread disease. Then someone shows up with your drinks. The problem is that iPads can be moved around so my bill showed up where another guy was sitting and I had to disturb him. Also none of the dozen or so USB ports within 20 feet of me worked! Argh! And it takes up the dating area for people waiting for their flight....seriously?

Just as the other reviews suggest, it's a good concept. Good layout, inviting ipad stations, a good way to spend away some time while waiting for your flight. Where apropos falls short, however, is the quality of food: the breakfast frittata looks absolutely nothing like the picture on the iPad menu. The fresh cheeses and layers of egg is a decoy for some processed egg and cheese paste. The panini didn't quite come off. Coffee was decent. The chocolate croissant was average. All this judged at their prices (which, I imagine are high because of the tech access... Not so much the food). Service is acceptable, given the business model. If apropos were to put a little more effort into the actual quality of food then this would truly be a delightful experience. read more
